A Nice Saturday at Burr Oak Woods

Saturday was nice during the day here, though turned stormy in the evening. I went over to Burr Oak Woods which is only a few exits down the highway from me, and is a rather nice, peaceful area surprisingly not far off the interstate, or the main roads of Blue Springs. Unfortunately, not much was in bloom yet besides some dogwood and redbud trees, hopefully in a few more weeks it'll be a lot greener.

It is one of the few places I know prickly pear cactus to exist in Missouri. It's apparently native to the whole state.
